SHS-CH1324 – SpilMax® Universal Absorbent Pads (200gsm)
Industrial‑Grade Universal Pads for Oils, Fuels, Water‑Based Fluids & Mild Chemicals
Overview
SpilMax® Universal Absorbent Pads are lightweight, highly durable pads designed for fast absorption of a wide range of liquids including oils, fuels, coolants, mild acids, paints, bodily fluids, and water‑based chemicals. Made from melt‑blown polypropylene with a dimpled, scrim‑reinforced surface for added strength, these 200gsm standard‑weight pads are hydrophobic, repelling water while absorbing hydrocarbons – making them ideal for use in moist environments, workshops, and industrial facilities.
Each pad absorbs up to 1 litre per saturation and can be wrung out and reused multiple times, offering excellent value and reduced waste. Tested to ASTM F726‑06, they provide reliable performance for spill kits, site cleanups, and everyday maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits
Universal Absorbency
Effective on oils, fuels, coolants, mild acids, paints, bodily fluids, and water‑based chemicals – one pad for multiple liquid types.
Hydrophobic Design
Repels water while absorbing hydrocarbons – ideal for use in moist environments and outdoor applications.
High Absorbency
Each pad absorbs approximately 1 litre per saturation. Can be wrung out and reused multiple times.
Standard‑Weight 200gsm Construction
Balanced thickness – ideal for everyday spill response, wiping, and general maintenance.
Durable Construction
Melt‑blown polypropylene with dimples and scrim for tear resistance and extended service life.
Versatile Application
Use to capture small leaks, clean up spills, wipe down tools, create drip‑free set‑down areas, or line work benches.
Tested to ASTM F726‑06
Performance verified using the standard test method for sorbent performance.
